The disease mainly affects the digestive system and lungs, causing chronic infections and inflammation that leads to lung damage, as well as malnutrition due to the inability to absorb nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>There is no cure for this genetic disease.and although its severity differs from person to person, it will eventually lead to death in the majority of people with CF.<\/p>\n<p>But a new medication, not yet widely available in Canada, is offering hope.<\/p>\n<p>Pharmaceutical company Vertex has developed Trikafta, which is capable of helping more than 90 per cent of CF patients. Not only does it increase patients\u2019 lung capacity by a minimum of 14 per cent but it can expand life expectancy by at least nine years.<\/p>\n<p>While Hart\u2019s lungs are significantly scarred and the damage is irreparable, the drug can prevent further damage. The overall goal of the medication is to have it accessible to children before their disease gets to the point where it can\u2019t be managed well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To watch your partner in declining health and know that this suffering is preventable is the most excruciating experience,&#8221; said White. &#8220;Years of his life are being stolen from him as we wait for access to medication.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although nearly 4,500 Canadians have CF, Canada is one of the only developed countries that doesn\u2019t yet have the medication approved for all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that Vertex Pharmaceuticals has struck deals with countries around the world to provide cystic fibrosis patients with access to Trikafta proves they are willing to work with governments to ensure that patients are taken care of. It\u2019s curious as to why our government isn\u2019t doing the same,&#8221; said White.<\/p>\n<p>The medication is currently allowed through the federal government&#8217;s Special Access Program, but Hart&#8217;s application was denied and others with the disease have died waiting to be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Only 122 people have been prescribed Trikafta across the country. According to a study conducted by a research team from Dalhousie University, the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and St Michael\u2019s Hospital, by 2030 Trikafta could reduce the number of people living with severe lung disease by 60 per cent and reduce the number of deaths by 15 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This medication is literally a miracle drug and Canadians with CF deserve to be given this innovative medication,&#8221; said White. &#8220;It\u2019s the closest thing to a cure since the disease had been discovered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hart\u2019s life is significantly impacted by the disease on a physical and emotional level every single day.<\/p>\n<p>His daily routine involves an hour of hands-on therapy including both exercises and medication. Every year he is admitted to hospital for lung infections, sometimes at the speciality CF clinic at St. Mike\u2019s in Toronto for up to a month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aaron literally has constant lung infections, he is sick all the time,&#8221; said White. &#8220;It\u2019s excruciating for us to know that there is a medication that can significantly reduce the amount of lung infections he contracts and that it\u2019s available in our neighbouring countries but not here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because of CF, he now also lives with liver disease and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has added even more stress and daily challenges as Hart has hardly seen anyone or left his apartment in six months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The response from our local members of government has been disappointing and has left us feeling lost as to where to {turn]  next,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>White said that she has contacted MP Scott Aitchison, MPP Norm Miller, Premier Doug Ford, and provincial health minister Christine Elliott and has received either minimal or no response.<\/p>\n<p>White invites anyone who feels passionate about this cause to contact their MP (Scott Aitchison&#8217;s email is <a class=\"oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"mailto:scott.aitchison@parl.gc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scott.aitchison@parl.gc.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Hart and White are part of advocacy group <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cfgetloud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CF Get Loud Canada<\/a><\/span> which also has a support community on Facebook <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/kalydecocanada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>To follow Hart and White\u2019s journey, visit their blog <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thelungandtheshortofit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Lung and the Short of It<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about CF and Trikafta, Cystic Fibrosis Canada&#8217;s Trikafta Can&#8217;t Wait page here: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cysticfibrosis.ca\/our-programs\/advocacy\/how-to-take-action\/trikafta-cant-wait\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cysticfibrosis.ca<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local resident Jenna White is asking for help from the government in order to make a new, life-changing cystic fibrosis (CF) medication readily available across Canada.
